(another tidbit from PUBLIB...-L.) Date: Mon, 11 Nov 2002 20:05:03 -0800 (PST) From: Grace-Ellen McCrann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: publib <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: INS Information & Forms 11 November 2002 There is some neat online Immigration & Naturalization information which may be of help as you establish your Immigration Information Center. 1) A very good website for Immigration Forms is the INS Forms & Fees page. This page also includes links to several other Federal Agencies who deal with immigration-related matters, i.e., Department of State, Department of Labor, etc. http://www.ins.usdoj.gov/graphics/formsfee/forms/ 2) You can also obtain INS forms by mail. Details at: http://www.ins.usdoj.gov/graphics/exec/forms/index.asp 3) You'll find general information about INS Forms at: http://www.ins.usdoj.gov/graphics/formsfee/forms/forminfo.htm 4) Using an older version of an INS form can sometimes delay the INS' response to an application/request. It's a good idea to check this web page which features updated forms and changes in usage, filing locations, etc. at: http://www.ins.usdoj.gov/graphics/newforms.htm 5) The INS offers a variety of benefits and services to people in a variety of situations from asylum seekers to employers and temporary visitors. Find out more at: http://www.ins.usdoj.gov/graphics/services/index.htm 6) Fingerprinting is required for certain immigration benefits. Information about this requirement can be found at: http://www.ins.usdoj.gov/graphics/formsfee/finger/index.htm 7) The INS has a number of Field Offices and Application Support Centers across the country. You can find the Field Office which oversees your area at: http://www.ins.usdoj.gov/graphics/fieldoffices/index.htm Link to a list of the Application Support Centers in your State at: http://www.ins.usdoj.gov/graphics/fieldoffices/ascs/asc.htm 8) There are a number of INS handbooks and manuals online including information on the immigration of adopted children and the Agency's Guide to the Naturalization process. (The later is available in 5 languages.) Most of these publications are in the PDF format, so you will need Adobe Acrobat installed on your computer. The URL for these publications is: http://www.ins.usdoj.gov/graphics/lawsregs/handbook/hnmanual.htm 9) The Federal Legislation which oversees immigration is Public Law 107-208 (Immigration and Nationality Act). General Information about the Act can be found at: http://www.ins.usdoj.gov/graphics/lawsregs/INA.htm The latest version of this law is on a Department of Justice web page at: http://www.ins.usdoj.gov/lpBin/lpext.dll/inserts/slb/slb-1/slb-20?f=temp lates&fn=document-frame.htm#slb-act Hope this is of some use.
